9. The two men continued to correspond in the 1930s & 1940s, but (for obvious reasons) couldn't discuss their politics directly. So instead they relied on allegory (which Junger also did for his 1939 covertly anti-Nazi novel On the Marble Cliffs).
There is an argument to be made that Junger was the more savvy opportunist.

I don't think Junger's actions (which he admittedly never gave transparent account of) reducible to opportunism. Or else he wouldn't have declined down honours offered by Nazi regime post-1933. If anything, it's his elitist disdain for baseness of actual Nazis that saved him.
